: But I thought I would let you know, No oxicontin for 72 hrs, i am feeling stronger everyday hope this is the start of the end of the dreaded SCIATICA.

Martin,

I don't know what SCIATICA is, but I'm curious, how are you removing yourself from the oxicontin? I'm on methadone, and it's like the big broter of oxi and the MS contin. I take two of the methadone three times a day. I'd love to get off it but I have a joint disorder that makes my joints ache and dislocate easily. I can only exercise with swimming or the woman on PBS with "Sit and be Fit" (Thank god for that woman - and I'm an agnostic! :P). But seriously, how are you coming off the oxicontin? Are you still having some pain?
